STA 347F2003 Quiz 1

The document contains a quiz with two questions. The first question involves calculating probabilities related to balls being drawn from jars containing blue and red balls numbered 1-3. The second question asks whether the statement P r(A|B) + P r(Ac |B) = 1 is true, and if so to prove it, if not to provide a counter example.

STA 347F2003 Quiz 1

1. One jar contains blue balls numbered 1 and 2. Another jar contains
red balls numbered 1, 2, and 3. A jar is chosen at random, and then a
ball is chosen at random from that jar.
(a) (15 pts) What is P r{2|Red}?
(b) (15 pts) What is P r{Blue|3}?
(c) (25 pts) What is P r{2}?
(d) (25 pts) What is P r{Blue|2}?
2. (20 pts) Is it true that P r(A|B) + P r(Ac |B) = 1? If it is true,
then prove it. If it is not true, give a simple counter-example. Be-
gin your answer with the words The statement is true, or The
statement is false. Hint: You might want to start with P r{B} =
P r{B|A}P r{A}+P r{B|Ac}P r{Ac } (Law of Total Probability), which
you need not prove.
